Driver fatigue causes many car accidents each year. Existing methods to prevent fatigue like coffee and tablets have disadvantages. IBM has developed an artificial passenger system to help. It uses speech recognition, cameras, sensors and conversation to monitor the driver and prevent fatigue through alerts or engaging conversation. If the driver seems impaired, it can also alert other nearby vehicles. This system could help keep operators and others in safety-critical jobs alert as well.
